I heard a news report about this from the aviation reporter at one of our local stations. According to sources, they’re saying that the engine “just quit”. The fact that the plane did NOT burst into flame on impact makes me wonder if the thing had enough fuel.
This makes me think SOMEONE is gonna lose their ass on this one.
That would require ground crew to miss a major evolution and the pilot to never look at his fuel state before takeoff. Not saying it’s impossible, guess we’ll have to wait for the accident board report.
